How Long will Bill Belichick Remain Coaching?

Recommended Posts

Interesting fact: there have been 511 head coaches in the NFL, all time.

 

THREE (3) of them have coached into their 70s.

 

1) George Hallas

2) Marv Levy

3) Pete Carroll

 

Pete has only done it for one year, as he turned 70 this season.

 

Hallas and Levy are the only 2 guys IN NFL HISTORY to coach for multiple years into their 70s.

 

Bill Belichick is 69 and turns 70 in April.

 

The data suggests that the grind of being an NFL head coach catches up to you in your late 60s and these guys just can't do it much past that.

 

What do you think?

He's 38 wins away from topping Shula as the all time winningest coach. He's HUGE on the history of the NFL. Even if it would seem he wouldn't care less I believe he stays until he breaks that mark.

 

EDIT: Corrected Number of wins needed. Had said around 50...turns out it's 38

I think as the Pats are currently constituted you are talking 5 years minimum and more like 7. Coaching in the NFL these days aged 76? Not sure I see that.

He isn’t going anywhere till he breaks Shula win record.  After that he will retire the end of that year. So I say another 4 years?

Good God. He'd be coaching into his 80's.

I see it as long as he's healthy. He reminds me of the kind of guy that works his whole life and passes away 3 months after retiring. Just nothing else left. As long as he can, I believe he will

He lives for football and is rare breed.  I can see him coaching into his 70’s but yeah at some point he will need to slow down

That's a long 5-6 years
